Perfect Pairings

Enhance your breakfast experience with thoughtful additions. Pack a small container of Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess. Include a portion of nut butter for spreading on sweet potato pieces. For caffeine lovers, prepare cold brew coffee in advance for a complete morning solution. During colder months, consider a thermos of warm herbal tea as an accompaniment.

Creative Variations

Adapt this versatile recipe to create endless breakfast options. Try a Southwestern version with black beans, corn, and chili powder. Create a Mediterranean bowl with feta, olives, and dried herbs. Make a protein-forward option by adding cooked chicken sausage or turkey bacon. For those who prefer grain-based breakfasts, incorporate quinoa or farro.

Storage Success

Maximize freshness with proper storage techniques. Use glass containers for better reheating quality. Store berries in a separate compartment to prevent moisture transfer. For longer storage, freeze individual portions of frittata wrapped in parchment paper. When ready to enjoy, reheat gently at 50% power in the microwave to prevent rubbery texture.

Through countless breakfast meal prep experiments, I've found that balancing nutrition, flavor, and convenience creates the most successful morning routine. This recipe proves that a little weekend preparation can transform your entire week while supporting your health and wellness goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Do I need to pre-roast the sweet potatoes before making the frittata?
Yes, the recipe calls for already roasted sweet potatoes. To prepare them, cube the sweet potatoes, toss with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes until tender. You can do this step ahead of time or use leftover roasted sweet potatoes.
→ Can I freeze these breakfast meal prep bowls?
The frittata portion freezes well for up to 2 months. Wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. However, fresh berries don't freeze and thaw well for this purpose, so add those fresh each morning along with the cashews.
→ What's the best way to reheat the frittata?
For the best texture, reheat the frittata in the microwave at 50% power for 1-2 minutes until just warmed through. Reheating at full power or for too long can make the eggs rubbery. You can also enjoy the frittata cold if you prefer.
→ Can I use different vegetables in the frittata?
Absolutely! This recipe is very adaptable. Try using mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, or cherry tomatoes. Just make sure to cook vegetables with high water content (like zucchini or tomatoes) thoroughly before adding the eggs to prevent the frittata from becoming watery.
→ What can I use instead of almond milk?
Any milk or milk alternative will work in this recipe. Regular dairy milk, oat milk, soy milk, or cashew milk are all good substitutes. If using a sweetened milk alternative, be aware that it might slightly affect the overall flavor of the frittata.

Yield: 4 Servings

Dietary: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

Ingredients

01 2 tablespoons olive oil
02 ½ medium onion, chopped
03 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
04 2 cups diced roasted sweet potato
05 2 cups spinach
06 5 large eggs, lightly beaten
07 ½ cup almond milk
08 ¼ tsp crushed red peppers
09 1 tablespoon dried parsley
10 Salt and pepper to taste

→ Serve it with

11 Roasted cashews
12 Berries

Instructions

Step 01

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 02

Heat olive oil in a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until slightly golden brown. Add chopped red bell pepper and cook for another 3-5 minutes.

Step 03

Add the diced roasted sweet potato and spinach to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 1 minute until the spinach starts to wilt.

Step 04

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, crushed red pepper flakes, dried parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 05

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables, making sure the eggs cover all the vegetable mixture. Cook on the stovetop until the edges of the frittata begin to set.

Step 06

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is completely cooked through but not overbaked.

Step 07

Once cooled, divide the frittata into four portions and place each portion in a glass meal prep container. Add berries alongside the frittata. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Add roasted cashews when ready to eat.

Notes

  1. Red bell peppers are the sweetest, but orange or yellow bell peppers can be substituted.
  2. Kale or collard greens can be used instead of spinach.
  3. Be careful not to overbake the frittata as the eggs will become rubbery.
